No. That website fails our reliable sources guidelines, and the information flatly contradicts all other sources on the matter. Please use academic and scholarly books, journals, or sites, not fringe conspiracy theory sites that mistake an image from a video game for an ancient mythological figure.

In case other editors see this: Here is a Google translation of the site. It uses an image from World of Warcraft (so Papardilas's description of Lamasthu was taken from Blizzard's depiction of a Night Elf), and goes on about a one world government, nephilim, etc, and discusses Lilith instead of Lamashtu (so even if that site wasn't a ridiculous mess, it still wouldn't be appropriate for this article).

Is the name given in cuneiform actually Sumerian/Old Babylonian?

The first sign in the name looks like an AN, which—as I recall—is not the determinative for a deity or spirit in either Sumerian or Old Babylonian.

It is the correct determinative sign if the name is actually in Assyrian.

Should the caption be updated to state that the name is in Assyrian, or should we find a better representation for the name in Old Babylonian?

I also notice there’s an “i” there in the middle that shouldn’t be there Snokalok (talk) 11:42, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

Cunieform is mislabeled.

The cuneiform name is labeled d-DIMME, but that's not how the characters read. It's misleading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:4:C80:BEE0:492B:D4BE:7BEB:CB51 (talk) 19:06, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
